Friday night is New Romantic night

[Fnaar]

Sorry, presumptuous of me to start the Friday night music theme at half past three, but...
In tribute to Steve Strange.
Gotta start, obv, with Visage.

Blitz were a great little Oi! band but re-invented themselves as New Romantics.

The founder/ guitarist chucked himself under a car in 2007 during an American tour.

Culture Club (esp George) certainly shook things up, in a 'major and lasting cultural effect beyond the scene it comes from' kinda way.

I just know I'm gonna "like" everything that people put onto this thread.

Anyway, can't go any further without something from the best new romantic band ever beyond any question of a doubt, Duran Duran...........
